Quadrille #44

De Jackson here (aka WhimsyGizmo), and it’s Quadrille Monday here at dVerse. And lookit what we did! We made it to Quadrille #44! Since a Quadrille is a poem of exactly 44 words, using one word we provide, it’s pretty cool to reach the 44-word benchmark. (And for those of you who attempt to write what we call The Ones With All The Words, it might be time to get out your hyphens.)

If none of these forms kickstart your muse, then make up your own words. What would a kickle be? What about a kick-caphony?

Poem us up something with a little kick to it. The rest is up to you. Just make sure your poem is precisely 44 words long, and literally contains some form of the word kick.

New to the Q? Here’s what to do:
Just write a poem of exactly 44 words, including some form of the word kick. Get creative if you’d like, but please be sure the word “kick” is in there somewhere, and that your poem adds up to exactly 44 words, not including the title. Link it up by clicking Mr. Linky. Then kick back right here in the blogisphere to visit some amazing poets. The prompt is open for the whole week, so remember to come back and read (and write!) some more!

Thanks for hosting, De. My favorite “kicking scene” of all time is Gene Kelly in Singin’ in the Rain, walking down the Hollywood set street, rain coming down, and kicking the water beside the curb and on the sidewalk. He finally just jumps into a puddle and is the picture of joyful exhuberance stomping away 🙂

Will do a bit of reading tonight…and then return in the AM with my coffee in hand! 🙂

Great word….ah yes….and I bid adieu to my Film Noir Series today. It’s been fun! You’ll note the Journeyman has disappeared in the final act. Too scarey for him I guess 🙂

oh….I’m don with the Film Noir series….final act. I already had blood-shadows and rose-red …. my only hyphens which were just too delicious to let go. Onward with a new series! I’ll get a “kick” out of starting again 🙂

Good evening everyone! I just got back from a bookshop event in Norwich, which was very interesting, and came away with two books! I don’t often go into Norwich or visit book shops, so I was like a kid in a sweet shop. I also saw some very nice calendars for 2018.
Thank you for hosting, De, and for a great 44th word. What are our intrepid poets going to do for using all the words in December?

It was a writer called Jen Campbell who also has a YouTube blog, She is passionate about fairy tales and their history. She’s written a book of interesting short stories, has a book of poetry and some mad non-fiction books from the point of view of a book seller, one of which is Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops. .

Crowded bar tonight… barkeep. Barkeep! I said Hey bartender, hey man, looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer! …and then would you be so kind as to pour me a nice 9 ounces of Pinot Noir (Lacrema, if you have it).

I missed the Kick-off due to whisky-interruptus…thankfully no sign of a hangover kicking in this morning..I have finished the all the words series off for now…heading to Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Bruichladdich distilleries today so won’t be doing much reading methinks. I’ll catch up later in the week. Great word De.
